Poll: Over 7 in 10 Independents, Dems Who Voted for Biden ‘Unaware’ of Kamala Harris’s ‘Radical’ Record

The poll, first revealed by MCR’s NewsBusters, found that anywhere from 71 percent to 86 percent of the 400 independents and 800 Democrats polled are unaware of Harris’s “radical” record on particular issues. The following are ten instances demonstrating her highly partisan record and these voters’ staggering lack of awareness of them:

    “Harris would consider allowing death row inmates to vote.”
        Aware: 14 percent
        Unaware: 86 percent

    “Harris supported the elimination of private health insurance.”
        Aware: 19 percent
        Unaware: 81 percent

    “Harris promoted a bail fund to bail out violent protesters during 2020 riots.”
        Aware: 22 percent
        Unaware: 78 percent

    “Harris supported abolishing ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement].”
        Aware: 23 percent
        Unaware: 77 percent

    “Harris was named the most liberal senator in 2019.”
        Aware: 25 percent
        Unaware: 75 percent

    “Harris said it should not be considered a crime to enter the U.S. illegally.”
        Aware: 26 percent
        Unaware: 74 percent

    “Harris cosponsored the Green New Deal.”
        Aware: 27 percent
        Unaware: 73 percent

    “Harris never visited a conflict zone on the border as Border Czar.”
        Aware: 28 percent
        Unaware: 72 percent

    “Harris supported cutting funding for police.”
        Aware: 29 percent
        Unaware: 71 percent

    “Harris supported reparations payments to atone for slavery in the U.S.”
        Aware: 29 percent
        Unaware: 71 percent

By a wide margin, respondents reported legacy broadcast news stations or cable news stations as their top sources for news about elections. Voters were asked to pick the top two ways they take in news, with 50 percent saying broadcast television, which includes ABC News, CBS News, and NBC News. Cable news was the second most reported mode at 41 percent. For reference, social media followed in third place at 34 percent.

When that data is taken into account in conjunction with voters’ lack of awareness, the MRC suggests the poll reveals “a failure of these outlets to report on radical positions once (and perhaps currently) supported by the now-Democratic nominee for President.”

What is more, the MRC reviewed TV broadcast networks ABC News, CBS News, and NBC News’s night-time coverage of Harris from July 21, the day President Joe Biden bowed out of the race, to August 10. The analysis shows that only two of the ten issues in the poll received any coverage, which was “minimal,” while the other eight were neglected.

“It’s 2020 all over again. As it stands now, another leftist media coverup will decide the election,” MRC founder and President L. Brent Bozell III said, per NewsBusters.

The poll’s field dates are August 2-5. A margin of error was not listed.

So why then were her numbers so dismal for the last 4 years, and now people are so 'unaware' of her?

[Smokin Joe]

The media are allowing her to hide behind a smokescreen of null information. If you aren't digging for it, they aren't about to feed it to you. Similarly, the campaign websites I have seen only ask for money, and do not state any policy positions.
Publicly,she is avoiding committing on positions on issues, just as she avoided doing anything meaningful at the border.
She is truly a pig in a poke, because even her campaign isn't putting in writing what she stands for, and no one is going to get squat out of word salads that sound like a third grade book report done by someone who didn't read the book.

[LMAO]

That’s because she’s following the Obama strategy. Nobody in 2008 could tell what Barack Obama was for. They just wanted to be hip and vote for the black guy


We have the same situation today. A fairly youngish minority woman with  radical beliefs, running against an old white guy who starting to show his age. It’s déjà vu

Because she’s an alternative for voters who did not want a Trump/Biden rematch

If maybe you have some belligerent pissycat jr high cheerleader mentality who won't vote for Trump because 'I don't like him' even though Harris has been directly involved with looting your pocketbook and busting your budget the last 4 years.
